> Can anyone say if Nuvigil is supposed to be longer lasting than Provigil? I suffer from major depression and my primary symptoms are lack of energy and fatigue. My psychiatrist is considering putting me on Nuvigil.

How much Lamictal are you taking? You listed your dosage as being 2 mg.
What advantages are there for taking Nuvigil over Provigil?
